Description from the seller

Silea Duck Decanter – Italian Bargerei Glass – Silver Plated Mounts – 26 cm

Elegant and decorative duck-shaped decanter produced by Silea, Italy. This charming table piece combines hand-blown Bargerei glass with silver-plated metal mounts, forming a stylised waterfowl with refined detailing.

The sculptural head functions as a hinged pouring spout, while the gracefully curved handle and feather-decorated tail enhance its decorative appeal. The body is executed in clear blown glass with internal shaping, resting on a silver-plated base.

A beautiful mid-20th century Italian barware object, both functional and decorative.
